Features of Japanese gaskets
Japan is primarily famous for its careful hygiene and special attitude towards it. Such a topic as menstruation was no exception in this regard.
The popularity of Japanese gaskets in the domestic market has been gaining momentum lately. What are their advantages, and other aspects, such as implementation and manufacturers, will be discussed in the article.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's talk about the benefits of Japanese sanitary pads for women and the reasons why they are becoming more popular.
- Absorbency... Japanese pads not only absorb liquid well, but also do it instantly - as soon as moisture hits the surface of the product. For comparison, Always pads absorb the second time.
- Pleasant sensations... Due to the fact that the pads quickly absorb the secretions, the latter are not on the surface and do not come into contact with the skin. During wearing, the products cease to cause discomfort or discomfort. Since the discharge is instantly absorbed, the pad does not feel too wet or wet.
- Reliable fixation... Despite the fact that the adhesive line on the outer part of the gasket is thinner than that of domestic counterparts, the gasket holds better. It does not move during sports or walking. The special adhesive composition allows the product to hold tightly and not peel off.
- Convenience... Due to its flexibility and softness, the product does not get confused or crumpled. And also it fits snugly and repeats all movements.
- Small size of wings. It may seem that the larger the wings, the more securely the gasket will hold. Japanese products have small wings, but a good fixing adhesive composition.
Not always and not everyone is comfortable with such gaskets, and we will consider the reasons for this below.
- Price... Place of manufacture of gaskets (if, of course, they are real) - Japan. For this reason, some of its cost may include shipping costs. And also, in general, products of Japanese origin are not cheap. On average, one pack of Japanese products costs 500 rubles. For comparison, the average pack of Always costs about 200 rubles.
- Inaccessibility... The number of stores selling Japanese pads is growing. However, it cannot be said that they can be purchased everywhere.
- For some women, it is still uncomfortable to use not only Japanese, but also gaskets made in other countries.
For example, wings, surface material and even dimensions can cause unusual sensations.
